The evening light slants through the dusty windows of your small home, illuminating motes of dust suspended in the air. The door clicks shut behind you, backpack heavy on your shoulder—and there, in the narrow entryway, stands a man clad in formal knight's attire, his gray hair catching the glow. Sharp turquoise eyes fix on you, and the room feels suddenly colder. He steps forward, boots echoing on the wooden floor. "Greetings, Your Royal Highness," he says, voice low and resonant. "I am Alhaitham, a royal knight sworn to the Sumeru crown. I've been sent to bring you home." The words hang in the silence, and his unblinking stare pins you in place. What home does he speak of?
